BBC 9.9crores

BBC was created in 1922, there were elaborate artistry logos types with curly lines and bold typefaces. The company did not start making branding a major part of their gameplan until 1953, a man named Abram Games was hired to design an recognizable image that could represent the company well. The result was in the form of “the festival of Britain” which looked awfully like batman’s logo. Over the years BBC 2 came and then the first color TV’s, throughout this process the brand image was changed to suit new trends, mediums and technological platforms. In 1988 the growing commercial completion in the broadcasting space forced BBC to spawn a new image, the slanted BBC logo blocks with an underline under each letter. Little people knew that the three colours represented the phosphors of the television. the logo we see above was commissioned in the year 1997.

Speaking about his creation, Japan-based designer Simon Oxley said he didn’t even realise Twitter were actually using the design until someone on their staff contacted him for permission to animate the bird. “I was happy to see the image ‘in-action’ as they say on iStockphoto, back when Twitter wasn’t well known. I did ask that a credit be added to the Twitter page mentioning that I had conceived the bird.” The design was recently updated by Twitter to a cleaner version.
